This series, created by Jody Clark, was inspired by ten mythical, ancient creatures - lions, griffin, falcon, bull, yale, greyhound, dragon, unicorn and horse which stood guard at Queen’s coronation. Her Coronation in 1953 was attended by 10 sculptures of fearsome beasts, both real and mythic, that would represent her different ancestral houses. Nowadays the Queen’s Beasts can be found at the Canadian Museum of History in Quebec, while Portland stone replicas, also carved by James Woodford, watch over Kew Gardens in the United Kingdom.
